Opinions of the Press. 



The Farmer, since it passed into tlie hands of its present 

 industrious nnii energelic proprietor, lias more than doubled 

 its circulation ; and now takes rank, deservedly, among the 

 tirsl agricultural periodicals of the day. Irs ample pages 

 are filled with matter of great interest to the farmer. Al- 

 mosi. every question appertaining to practical agriculture is 

 discussed "niih ability. The proprietor devotes his whole 

 time to the work, and employs the best talent. Dr. Lek 

 still contributes to its columns. P. Barry, Esq., conducts 

 the Horticultural Department, while a host of contributors 

 employ their pens te enrich its pages. — liochtsier Democrat. 



Tfis valuable paper, which can well be called the " Far- 

 mer's Companion," lias nearly completed its ninth volume. 

 We, without hesitation, pronounce it invuluaMo to the tiller 

 'of the soil, and worth double the amount asked for it. Its 

 articles are of gre.it practical utility; and as the matter 

 contained in each number is almost exclu.siveiy for the far- 

 mer, it commends itself especially to agriculturists. — Hol- 

 den's Dollar Magazine.
